Here is the posting for my King family. My grandfather was born Nov 27, 1897 in Halifax Co. His name was Rufus Bennie King. He lived in Halifax and Warren counties before moving to Wilmington about 1917. He married Myrtle Retha Reynolds of Hallsboro N on 7-9-1915 in Weldon NC. His father was Thomas Benjamin King who was born in Halifax Co on 10-2-1870 and died in Wilmington NC 5-9-1951. He married Ida Harris (b. 3-2-1876 and died 3-16-1916 - daughter of Henry Walker Harris and Lucy Salmon, dtr of Henry Salmon and Henry's first wife who died in 1887 and then he married Mary C. King, parent's unknown). He had the following Children, most born in Halifax. Rufus, Herbert, Henry, David, Lucy, Odie, Ruby, Sally Bet, Eva. Benjamin's father was Robert King, called "Bob". He was born 1-1-1830 in Halifax Co NC and married 1st Sarah Chambliss in 1862 who died before the end of the war. (Bob was captured in the seige of Richmond - his regiment is unknown to me). He then married Sallie Nannie born 10-20-1850. (Her parents were Douglas Nannie and Nancy Mosley of Brunswick Va), Bob and Sallie had the following children Frank, John W., Walter, Steward, Bengham, Mollie and Beaman) Robert (Bob)'s father was called Jack King on Bob's death certificate. Since I have seen John W above as Jr. on some documents, I guess his name would have been John Willis King Sr. Apparently he has died by the 1850 census where Bob and brother's Mason (who married Sarah Hodges) and William are living with James and Betsy Jarrell (this is probably his mother remarried). Would appreciate any information on any of the above names, King, Harris, Salmon, Mosley, Nannie, Jarrell. Martina Simmons
